<p>The UK’s support for military action is contingent on adherence to International
Humanitarian Law (IHL). The Ministry of Defence monitors alleged IHL violations, using
available information, which in turn informs our overall assessment of IHL compliance
in Yemen. We consider a range of information from government sources, foreign governments,
the media and international non-governmental organisations. We keep compliance under
constant review. We are also offering advice and training to Saudi Arabia to demonstrate
best practice and to help ensure continued compliance with IHL. I raised the issue
of compliance with IHL during my October visit to Saudi Arabia. We have also raised
our concerns with the Houthis on the importance of compliance with IHL.</p>
